Description

The present invention relates to a multi-point support cane used by elderly people, disabled people, rehabilitation walking trainers and the like during walking.

As the conventional multipoint support cane, for example, a four point cane as described in Patent Document 1 is generally used.

JP 2003-33980 A

Many elderly, disabled, and rehabilitative walking trainers who require a multi-point support cane change the shape and size of the cane grounding part required by improvement or deterioration of symptoms. Furthermore, various shapes exist also in the rod-shaped portion of the multipoint support cane, and the required shape differs depending on the state of the body of each user. However, in the conventional multipoint support cane, the rod-shaped part and the grounding part are completely fixed by rivets, welding, etc., and it is necessary to prepare a cane suitable for the body each time, such as re-purchasing every time the physical symptoms change Don't be.

In particular, gait trainers who are rehabilitating are often rehabilitating for the purpose of improvement, and their physical symptoms are likely to change.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a multi-point support cane that can be changed according to the symptoms of the body, each of the grounding part and the bar-like part.

The invention according to claim 1 is a multipoint support cane for the purpose of assisting walking, comprising a grip part, a rod-like part fixed to the lower part of the grip part, and a grounding part provided with a plurality of non-slip grounding rubbers in contact with the ground. The grounding part is detachable. Thereby, the existing one-point grounding T-shaped cane, crutch, clutch, and other grounding parts can be replaced with the detachable grounding part, thereby converting to a safer multipoint support cane.

The invention according to claim 2, in the multi-point support cane according to claim 1, when the ground rubber lands on the ground, the angle of the ground contact portion is varied, thereby landing from an oblique direction with respect to the ground. Even in this case, a plurality of grounding rubbers can be grounded.

The invention according to claim 3 is the multipoint support cane according to claim 1 or 2, wherein the rod-shaped portion is fitted to a male screw portion installed on the grounding portion upper portion, and the rod-shaped portion is penetrated. The bar-shaped portion and the grounding portion can be fixed by manually tightening the surface by hand-turning with a grip-like female cylindrical screw.

According to the first aspect of the present invention, in the multi-point support cane for the purpose of assisting walking, the grip portion, a rod-like portion fixed to the lower portion of the grip portion, and a grounding portion provided with a plurality of non-slip ground rubbers in contact with the ground Since the grounding part is detachable, when there is a change in physical symptoms, it is possible to replace it with a multi-point support can according to the physique and symptoms of the user simply by preparing a grip part and a rod-like part. Can do. Especially in rehabilitation aimed at restoring physical function, a multipoint support grounding part is attached to a rod-shaped part including crutches and clutches at the initial stage, and it is used in a more stable state. It is possible to provide a clear flow as a rehabilitation target setting, such as making a single point support stick.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, when the grounding rubber lands on the ground, the angle of the grounding part is variable, so that even when the grounding rubber lands at an angle with respect to the ground, the grounding rubber at a plurality of points can be obtained. Since it can be grounded and the frictional resistance can be strengthened against the ground, it can be used more stably.

According to the third aspect of the present invention, the rod-shaped portion is fitted to the male screw portion installed at the upper portion of the grounding portion, and the rod-shaped portion is penetrated. Since the rod-shaped portion and the grounding portion can be fixed, the rod-shaped portion and the grounding portion can be easily attached and detached even if they are not familiar with tools.

It is a perspective view showing a cane concerning one embodiment of the present invention. It is a disassembled perspective view of the grounding part of the cane of FIG. It is sectional drawing of the earthing | grounding part of the cane of FIG. It is sectional drawing when the angle of the joint part of the grounding part of a cane of FIG. 1 and a rod-shaped part changes. It is a perspective view at the time of fixing the grounding part and rod-shaped part of the cane of FIG.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the multipoint support cane according to the present invention includes a grounding portion 1, a rod-like portion 2, and a grip portion 3, and includes a male screw pedestal 52 on the grounding portion 1. The ground pipe 1 and the rod-shaped part 2 are fixed by inserting the coupling pipe 30 penetrating the male screw base 52 and manually rotating the male pipe base 52 and tightening the cylindrical female screw 51.

Further, in this embodiment, the grounding portion 1 and the rod-like portion 2 are unfixed by rotating the cylindrical female screw 51 by turning in the opposite direction to that at the time of fixing.

More specifically, the coupling pipe 30 is passed through the spacer rubber 20 that is passed through the hole 11 provided in the center of the grounding leg 14, and the male screw base 52 is installed on the spacer rubber 20. The grounding portion 1 and the rod-like portion 2 are fixed more stably. The spacer rubber 20 is not limited to rubber, and may be a material that can absorb impact such as gel.

FIG. 4 shows an angle change state when a force is applied in the lateral direction to the rod-like portion 2 fixed to the grounding portion 1. As shown in FIG. 3, when the rod-like portion 2 is in a vertical state with respect to the grounding portion 1, the connecting pipe base 31 is in a horizontal state, whereas when a force is applied to the rod-like portion 2 in the lateral direction, the rod-like portion 2. Is inclined obliquely with respect to the grounding portion 1. The spacer rubber 20 is restrained from tilting more than an angle of up to 10 degrees by restricting the movement of both the coupling pipe 30 and the coupling pipe base 31. The tilt angle is not limited to 10 degrees, and may be any angle that does not cause the user to fall down. Further, when the relationship between the grounding portion 1 and the rod-shaped portion 2 is oblique, when the lateral force on the rod-shaped portion 2 is released, the coupling pipe base 31 is pushed down by the elasticity of the spring 40 and the rod-shaped portion 2 is in the vertical state. Return to.

Next, a method for fixing the grounding portion 1 and the rod-shaped portion 2 will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 and 5. The hand-cranked cylindrical female screw 51 is removed from the grounding part 1, and the lower part of the rod-like part 2 is penetrated. The grounding part 1 is placed on a flat place, and the male screw part 521 having a divergent shape is tightened by rotating the cylindrical female screw 51 by manually fitting the coupling pipe 30 to the lower part of the rod-like part 2 with respect to the grounding part 1 and rotating it. Then, the rod-shaped portion fastening portion 522 fastens and fixes the coupling pipe 30. The hand-cranked cylindrical female screw 51 is not limited to hand-turning and may be rotated by a tool such as pliers.
